[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The scummy realtors are in the back pocket of a spec developer who want to acquire your estate sale on the cheap. They want that land.

There’s a realtor in our neighborhood in NW DC who hovers like a hawk when one of the old long time residents die. She is very good at convincing the out of town family members to sell off market to her developer clients for 15-20% below fair market value.

Those realtors are not working for you; they are working for their repeat clients (developers). Stick to your guns and don’t let them abuse you & low ball. [/quote]

This.  It sounds like OP's parents property is a candidate for a tear down if it's in a desirable part of that zip code.  .5 acre lots can command north of 4 mil for new construction homes in some neighborhoods, so developers or families realtors work with are seeking the best deals.  It's nothing personal, and OP's parents are not "targeted" or discriminated in any way.  These realtors likely cast a very wide net trying to find someone who would give them a deal for a quick sale especially when they have buyers standing by and waiting for a deal to come up. Think of it as a "wholesale" deal.   :lol:

it's just opportunism and nothing personal.  It's your right to just walk away and find someone who would work with you to sell at whatever price you want.  [/quote]

If this is true, then it would be very reasonable for op to post reviews that are factual. It would be completely reasonable for her to post about a poor attitude and that the agent tried to push them to list at a lower price than reasonable. Give others a warning op. The truth isn't slander. [/quote]

If you re-read OP...it's not even that...it's the fact that a couple of realtors, [b]when told OP was not selecting them,[/b] thought they should respond with snarky and unsolicited opinions of why OP was making a terrible mistake and how wrong OP was.  I am sure other realtors where OP declined their services, thanked OP for being considered and wished OP best of luck and OP left with a positive view of those realtors.

It's just really strange why certain realtors felt the need to respond the way they did.[/quote]

So what exactly was said there? Because I don't think their responses were strange at all if OP came of as an unhinged nutjob of which there is a non zero possibility considering the batshit reaction to go scorched earth against someone who didn't agree with your unproven assessment of your property value. Two separate and presumably unassociated people who deal with rejection frequently were triggered enough to clap back so it's a big assumption OP is some reasonable person who politely declined their services.[/quote]

OP is 'batshit'? because they refused to be taken advantage of? I think you need some help. I went through this with vehicles when my dad stopped driving. I took his 3 year old, 9000 mile pristine, garaged Outback to the dealership we bought it at to sell it back. They tried telling me that Subarus had lost so much value recently, this scratch here will cost so much to repair, blah, blah, blah and low balled me by 7 grand. Carmax literally paid me $6900 more than the dealer offered.

I mean, you do know how sales people get paid, right?[/quote]

Hi OP![/quote]

That's me you're quoting and I'm not OP. Jeff is free to confirm.

So, did you learn how sales people get paid yet?[/quote]
